We are flying back tonight to Phuket, we came to KL for Non B and non O just to find out South Africans cannot do it here anymore. So we will be returning on a 30 day exempt visa, we have 30k on us will this be fine or do I need to draw the other 10k as well? We have a rental agreement for 30 days and then we have an emirates ticket to fly back to SA the 19 December. So we have an exit ticket but it will be longer than 30 days. Should I explain we are in process of doing our Non B and Non O or what is the best thing to say when they ask? We are soooo stressed!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is returning to Phuket with a 30-day visa exempt entry after failing to obtain Non-B and Non-O visas in Kuala Lumpur, specifically for South Africans who are no longer able to get these visas there. They have a rental agreement and an exit ticket scheduled for December 19. The user is concerned about having enough cash (30k baht) upon arrival and whether they need to explain their situation regarding the non-procured visas. Responses indicate that the relevant financial requirement is 10K baht per person, while some immigration officers may ask for 20K. Suggestions include being truthful about their visa situation and ensuring they have proof of funds.
